The Unexpected Wolf

Tuckers birthday

Ashlynn's POV

It’s August 25th and the packhouse has been decorated to celebrate Tucker's 18th birthday today and finding his mate. As much as I’m happy for him I’m also a little sad. I haven’t gotten to talk to him much since he met Christa at the mall. I know Kayla misses her daddy and Addy misses her mate but I’ve been wondering where I fit in the picture.

I push these negative thoughts out of my head, put on my best fake smile and walk downstairs to the party. It’s been going on for an hour already, I just realized I can’t stay in my room sulking all night. I go to place Tucker's gift on the table when Christa walks up to me.

“Well if it isn’t little miss loner who decided to finally come down. Wait I don’t remember even inviting you to this party, no one wants you here so why exactly are you here?” She shouted at me as many people turned to look.

Now that really hurts because for one this is my pack and friends who I grew up with that have started to turn their backs on me since she started going to school with us. “What's your problem Christa I haven’t done anything to you so why are you constantly picking on me?” I replied hoping everyone could see I had no problem with her.

“ I don’t like you, you keep hanging around my mate constantly trying to take his attention away from me. Always asking him to go on runs with you and texting him about another chic named Kayla. In case you haven’t noticed he’s taken. So you need to go away and leave him alone. Go find your own mate.” Christa stated like some righteous b***h. “I don’t care what you think you know but Tucker and I are friends. Plus we share a connection which you can’t understand. I don’t talk to Tucker as much as I used to before you came into the picture. I respect your relationship as well, but when it comes to Kayla I will tell him everything and there’s nothing you can do to stop me. I won’t tell you who Kayla is, just trust me when I say, she’s someone important to Tucker and anyone who threatens her will be on Tucker’s bad side.” I calmly replied, looking her dead in the eyes.

I really can’t see why Tucker’s mated to her. She doesn’t fit his personality at all. He’s never been into self entitled bitches, but when she’s around she acts totally different. Almost like she’s the Queen of humanity, so loving and caring her two faces makes me so sick. I wish I could blame it on the morning sickness but nope it’s just looking at her face and I want to vomit.

“I don’t care what you have to say, stay away from my mate. He’s mine not yours if he was yours the moon goddess would have given him to you instead she gave him to me. So keep your eyes and your phone away from my man.” She replied haughty.

“If that’s what Tucker wants and tells me to my face then I will do as he asks, but until that time I will continue to let him know about Kayla. You could never stop me from doing that.” I replied with a smirk on my face knowing Tucker would never ask me not to stop telling him about our daughter.

“I see you're just a w***e who goes around trying to take mated wolves just to make yourself feel better. Well I got news for you little slut I’m not one who shares my man. So you can quit dreaming I will stop you at every turn from trying to take my man.” Christa said, trying to piss me off.

Now I’m glad that we haven’t told her about Kayla. I don’t think she’d understand anything about what's going on and I don’t think I want her as a stepmother to my child. Of course I never told Tucker any of this as I don’t want to mess up his relationship with his mate. But if she keeps coming at me like this then I will bring it to his attention.

“Christa get off your high horse there are things you don’t know and quite frankly I don’t feel like telling you. Let’s just say if you mess with me the Alpha and Tucker would kick you off packlands mate or not. I’m not here to get in between you and your mate but if Tucker finds out how you treat me he’ll take my side and you’ll lose him.” I replied confidently.

“You b***h,” I heard her scream while raising her arm to strike me. I covered my head waiting for the blow. Next thing I hear is Tucker’s loud voice. “What’s going on here?” “Nothing my love. I was just telling Ashlynn how glad I am for her showing up to your party and she told me how lucky she thought I was to have you, but not to get too close as she was going to take you away from me soon.” Christa said in a whiny voice.

“Happy birthday Tucker. I see I’m not needed here so I’ll see you around, hope the parties nice. Since some people think that I’m a nuisance I think I’ll go for a run.” I told him before rushing out the door headed straight for the woods without looking back.

“What the hell just happened?” I yelled, at no one in particular. Everyone just looks around but no one speaks. I’m starting to get really mad now as Ashlynn wouldn’t act like that around me. “No one wants to speak up?” I yelled even louder this time.

Finally Gabe, one of my good friends tells me “Your mate felt threatened by Ash and called her out for constantly asking to go on runs and talking about someone named Kayla with you. She told her to stay away from you cuz your hers and she wouldn’t share you with anyone.” I turn to Christa with a very pissed off expression on my face ready to put this b***h in her place.

“What me and Ashlynn talk about is none of your concern at the moment. You have me but Ash is important to me as well. If you ever threaten Ash again I swear to the goddess I will reject you right then and there. Stay away from Ashlynn or you will find yourself single.” I told her right there in front of everyone. I felt bad but I need to get her away from Ashlynn for her sake.

“I see I’m not important to you, why don’t you just leave me and take her as your chosen mate since she’s so important to you.” Christa yelled then ran off. I just sighed and hung my head. I suck at relationships but Christa hit a nerve going after Ash like that.

Gabe came up to me “bad move bro, you needed to comfort her and make her feel like she’s the only girl for you. Even if she’s not. Now she’s gonna go after Ashlynn and this Kayla chic even more. For your sake I hope she never finds out who Kayla is or she’ll have two targets instead of one.” He told me before walking away.
